GOST-R Certification

GOST-R Certification is a key quality management system recognized in the Russian Federation. It focuses not only on the management processes of the company but also on the product quality itself. To obtain this certification, products must undergo rigorous testing conducted by accredited laboratories, certified by GOSSTANDARD, the Russian Governmental Standards Organization. Once the tests are passed, the company is awarded the certificate.

GOST-R certification is mandatory for Russian businesses and exporters to Russia. It is often compared to the ISO 9000 series certifications that are widely recognized in the West. It confirms that the product has passed certification and adheres to the required quality standards, making it eligible for trade in Russia.
